The Scorpnox was an incredible force to be reckoned with, but the fearless Blood Phoenixes slew the hulking beast and headed back aboard the Ponigeddon.
"Well done, Commander Hammerheart." said Pegalos. "You have blunted the Paranid assault on this region and cost the hive dearly. Pegalos out."
"Commander Hammerheart, some heartening news." said Spike.
"Yes," said Rashet, "we were able to isolate the final pieces of genetic information we needed. We should be able to locate a primary hive now."
"Preliminary scans show a hive on Salika that could be an exact match." said Spike. "I've uploaded the hive's location to your map display."
The location blinked on the map, and Hammerheart brought focus upon the area, called the Snukk Swamplands.
"Commander Hammerheart," said Pegalos, "we have finally located a primary hive in the swamps of Salika. We believe this hive houses a toxin pool that can supply us with the pure genetic sample we have been searching for. If you can secure a sample from this toxin pool, we will be able to produce the weapon we need to destroy the Hive Fleet. This toxin sample may also allow us to counteract the poisons that are killing Captain Nule. Secure the toxin sample immediately, Commander. The fate of the entire sector depends on it."
